Put your money in real estate. Our political system is unable/unwilling to address housing needs. Home owners vote for whatever it takes to increase prices. Renters and young people looking to buy their first homes don't have as m

You sound like you might think ideas have to be innovative but go look at how many CRM solutions are out there. CMS. Email marketing automation. Etc. None of them are perfect. None of them can satisfy every single potential customer. You ca
